Before trying GOLFTEC, I went with a couple of private lessons as a complete newbie and didn't have…read morea brilliant time. The swing evaluation at GolfTEC really clicked with me though; you're provided with instant visual feedback (side view & down the line) and metrics on every swing. I walked out of there with the 3-month/10-lesson plan and it's been great fun! The swing evaulation fee was waived, and you even get a fitting thrown in for free also as part of the plan. That I enjoyed my time there is mainly down to the instructor, Don Luvsan, who's been a fantastic coach! Equal parts creative in his methodology, and patient in his delivery and reinforcement. He's a real asset to the facility and I've greatly appreciated my time under his tutelage. Thanks in no small part to Don, I've got a much more consistent swing, and I know why from all the visual feedback. In fact, I just posted my best score on a round this weekend, and have tons more confidence from any situation because we've walked through all of it during the sessions, and all the feedback and video summaries of my lessons are in the online portal if ever I need a refresher. They've got a great sale (which appears to be annual) through the month of August, so I'd encourage you to give Don a call for a swing evaluation and see if the coaching resonates with you. Mileage may vary, but with the 'Game Plan' i signed up for, you get to practice at the facility 3 times a week outside of your usual lesson. When things were quiet, Don was always happy to poke his head in to check on me and work through some sticking points. All that's left is the fitting. Looking forward to it, and I'll be booking in with Don again after I've developed a few bad habits on the course.

Highly recommended. I took my first private lesson with Brian and I cannot stress enough how much…read moreI learned in 1 hour with him.

Before meeting Henrik, I had already worked with seven different coaches in Southern California…read more Each of them had their own style, but as someone with a STEM background, I like to understand things at the root level. That's exactly why Henrik's teaching approach and biomechanics background resonate so well with me. I'm not a fan of coaches who rely on vague "feel this, feel that" instructions. I prefer understanding the root cause of an issue, and that is where Coach Henrik truly excels. He explains why something is happening and how to fix it in a clear, logical, and systematic way. If you're similar to me and value deep understanding over guesswork, I highly recommend giving him a try. By the way, Henrik also coaches multiple European national golf teams and has over 30 years of coaching experience -- his depth of knowledge and experience really show

"Working with Coach Henrik has completely changed my golf game and my confidence on the course. So…read moreright off the bat I told him I'm basically 60yrs old and I don't want to change my swing completely that will take years to adjust to. I said I want to score better. Henrik said "Short Game" and off we went. His ability to change my chipping and pitching mechanics with easy-to-understand adjustments which helped me improve my game. It was never overwhelming. I've always been around a 12-15 handicap player. Since starting lessons I've seen major improvement in my consistency, ball striking, and overall course management. I'm playing the best golf of my life here at the age of 62. My handicap is lowest it's ever been at an 8... I highly recommend Henrik to anyone looking to improve their game and enjoy golf even more."
